PERIODONTIA INSTRUMENTS - FIG. GRA 15/16

Health Information – Periodontal Instrument (Gracey Curette 15/16)

The Gracey 15/16 curette is a specialized periodontal instrument designed for subgingival scaling and root planning, specifically targeting the mesial surfaces of posterior teeth. It is engineered to facilitate effective biofilm and calculus removal in deep periodontal pockets, supporting overall periodontal health and preventing disease progression.

Key Health Benefits:

• Effective Plaque & Calculus Removal: Precisely shaped to access and clean mesial root surfaces in molar regions, helping prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria.

• Periodontal Disease Management: Plays a vital role in non-surgical periodontal therapy by reducing inflammation, improving gum attachment, and halting disease progression.

• Optimized Access: Enhanced shank angulation ensures better access to hard-to-reach areas without compromising root or tissue integrity.

• Tissue Preservation: Minimizes trauma to gingival tissues while ensuring thorough debridement, supporting faster healing and reduced discomfort post-treatment.

Maintaining a healthy periodontium is essential for overall oral and systemic health. Instruments like the Gracey 15/16 are crucial tools in the early detection and treatment of periodontal issues, contributing to better long-term dental outcomes.
